    Two out of the three of us in a shared army left, there was one commander left. It blew up. The enemy did not kill it. I did not delete it. Log of the game attached.

    There seems to be a bug in PA where if a team member leaves and does not reconnect, then the game will surrender after x minutes. This is the way it's supposed to be in 1v1's, but obviously not in team vs team games until the very last player in a team has left.

    This should be fixed, it seemed to happen in a 2v2 game I was in earlier, I was on the opposite team so I can't say for sure. I killed one commander and he left the game shortly after a few minutes later the other player spontaneously blew up. Unless he just got bored.

    Ok, I just tested this bug and confirmed its existence. I followed the following steps to reproduce:
    • Start PA four times (using the parameter --localstorageurl to avoid all of the PA clients writing to the same database).
    • Use one of those PA client to start a 2v2 shared army local game. In my case, white vs yellow.
    • Have the other three clients join the local server.
    • Close one of the PA clients for white forcefully (probably not necessary to do it forcefully). Three remain.
    • Switch periodically between all of the clients for give commands, so any session is never inactive.
    • Observe the two white commanders self-destruct after ten minutes and yellow wins the game.
    @mkrater and @jables : Reproducable bug here for your list.

    (Btw, this requires ~13 GB of memory, so beware. :))

    There is a bug where all commanders in a shared army will self destruct after 10 minutes if *any* player disconnected and did not rejoin. I have a fix in. It should go out with the next patch.
